Long story short I have been DX for 6 years with RSD and PN due to nerve damage from a serious accident. So for the 6 years I just really concentrated on the RSD and I just ignored the PN. Why, just to much I quess. I no that sounds crazy but yesterday I saw my PM doc and we had a conversation on PN. What prompted this talk was I have been suffering so much with pain from the humidity this summer I can't take it anymore.
So after 6 years I am welcoming any advise, treatments PN patients use, doctors in NYC or NJ, CT that are good with PN, meds that work etc. I know you all think I'm crazy I'm not just denial. He wants to try a series of 3 Stellate Ganglion Blocks, which I had in the beginning and they helped with the RSD but not the PN. But he is doing it with ultral sound guidance which is a first for me. Prior I had them done with flouroscopy guidance. So I'll try it...Again any advise is welcomed good or bad.. Thanks to everyone.

if my wife would have listened to the two hot shot orthos at HSS , Hospital for Special Surgery in manhattan, she would not have a leg today, what they told her was absolutely the wrong thing to do as we found out. She got a few more opinions and the last one at hospital for joint disease in manhattan Dr. Feldman saved her leg. this doesnt help you with your neuro search but shows that you have to be your own advocate and research what they are doing especially if it involves surgery. Cornell Weill has top notch PN neuros in NYC.

Thanks for the recommendation to Dr. Griffin and the warning about Dr. Dellon. I kind of got a very strange vibe when I spoke with Dr. Dellon's office and did some emailing with questions. Again, thanks for all Gabbycakes |
